Can a growth spurt cause pee accidents?

[Anonymous]

My son has been potty trained (day and night) for over a year with almost no accidents, but in the last month he has wet the bed three times and has had a few accidents during naptime at school. He'll be four in September. Could this be growth-related? Something else typical?

Maybe just drinking more because of the heat?

This. Kids are drinking way more in summertime especially if its hot and they're playing outside.

I would just put up with it and downplay it because in this weather it is much more dangerous to be dehydrated and you don't want him scared to drink water. I tell my kids to drink as much water as they need in summer (even if it's before bedtime).
